Committee
From: Steve Conklin, Acting General
Manager
Presented By: Gina Knight, HR/Risk Manager Dept: Human Resources/Risk

Reviewed by Legal: Yes
Prepared By: Gina Knight, HR/Risk Manager
Subject: Revised Personnel Rules to Include At-Will Employment for Unrepresented Positions.
SUMMARY:
The purpose of this report is to request that the Personnel-Risk Management Committee review and
consider the proposed revisions to the Personnel Rules to include At-Will employment for future
Unrepresented Positions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee recommend the Board of Directors approve Resolution No. 13-01 adopting the District's
Personnel Rules at the next Board of Directors meeting scheduled for January 24, 2013.
DISCUSSION:
On December 20, 2012, staff presented a report to the Board of Directors to consider At-Will employment for
future unrepresented District employees. Staff presented two options for consideration. Option A referred to
only management positions becoming At-Will. Option B referred to both management and
supervisory/confidential positions becoming At-Will.
The Board of Directors discussed both options at length, concluded with supporting Option B and directed
staff to bring back a Resolution to implement the change.
A condition of this proposed change is that employees who are in a management or supervisory/confidential
position at the time the Board approves At-Will employment would be "grandfathered-in," meaning that their
property interest rights would be retained.
Attached to this report are copies of Resolution No. 13-01 and the page showing the revisions to the
District's Personnel Rules to incorporate At-Will employment for future unrepresented positions.

Subject: Staff Participation in 2013 Water Leaders Class
SUMMARY:
The District's Water Quality Engineer, Derek Nguyen, has been selected by the Water Education
Foundation (WEF) to participate in its Water Leaders Class of 2013. The program is primarily
funded through grants, with partial support from tuition fees. Tuition is $3,000 for the year-long
program, which helps cover attendance at Foundation events. Derek requested and received a
program scholarship to cover $1,500 of the cost. Funds have been budgeted in the Engineering
Department Water Quality Section Budget to cover the remaining $1,500 tuition cost.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee concur with the Acting General Manager's recommendation that Derek Nguyen
be authorized to participate in WEF's Water Leader Class of 2013, with the District paying $1,500
towards tuition, as well as program-related costs for travel and expenses, in accordance with District
policies and procedures.
DISCUSSION:
In a letter dated December 19, 2012, Derek was notified that he was selected from 60 candidates to
be one of 20 participants in the upcoming WEF Water Leader Class of 2013. A copy of that letter
and information describing the Water Leader Class program is attached.
As described in the attachment, the Water Leaders Class is a one-year program that identifies
young community leaders from diverse backgrounds, including members of minority and ethnic
communities, and educates them about water issues. The program enhances individual leadership
skills and prepares participants to take an active, cooperative approach to decision-making about
water resource issues. Leading stakeholders and top policy-makers serve at mentors to class
members.
Staff is very pleased and proud that Derek was selected as a participant, and recommends that the
Committee concur that Derek be authorized and funded to participate.
